““I like walking heavy on these disease-ridden streets. I like walking the streets knowing that underneath my jacket is the perfect solution to any dilemma I might encounter. I look at people differently. I meet their gaze until they look away. I like taking my gun for walks. I do not believe in hope.

I'm not going to try to talk my way out of a bad situation. I'm just going to shoot the fucker in the face and be done with it.””
